Please describe your academic preparation in Biology and Math in 1000 characters or less. In addition to courses, you should describe relevant professional or extra-curricular experiences. While at OSU, I have completed Pre-calculus and am currently enrolled in Calculus. I am also currently taking an EEOB course, Bio-Invasions. This course views ecological and evolutionary concepts through the lens of non-native introduced species. Last year, I also completed the AP Statistics and the AP Biology courses at my high school and received a 5 and 4 (tell them what it means to get a 5 or 4) on the exams, respectively. These scores are equivalent to Bio 1113 and Stats 2450. As for work experience, during the autumn semester of this year, I began working in Dr. Steve …show more content…

Once I began learning more about the science behind these natural processes I observed, I developed a serious interest in pursuing some discipline within biology as a career. I continued on the biological track through high school, competing in biology based events through Science Olympiad, a national science competition. Continuing on this path of science, my time in Hovick Lab has solidified my interest in the field of ecology and being a part of actual research has been a phenomenal experience. In the future, I would like to maintain the broad focus of ecology but go further into biochemistry and genetics within the field. At this point, I would like to start developing the skills to carry out research of my own and understand the process of collecting and analyzing different types of data. Academically, this means taking additional chemistry classes or adding a biochemistry minor. Furthermore, achieving a more complete biology and evolution/ecology course set is necessary. The end goal would be to achieve a level of knowledge so as to be able to carry out chemical or genetic research relating to the field of
